Flexible Medullary Nailing in Pediatric Traumatology

Femoral Shaft Fractures in Children: A Comparative Study in Treatment with Spica and Tens

“…Ligier et al used elastic intramedullary nail (anterograde or retrograde) with Kirschner wires or pins (9) They reported more desirable outcomes in 120 femoral-shaft fractures treated with TEN. In Reeve et al study, 41 patients with femoral fractures were treated with traction and casting, and 49 cases underwent intra medullary nailing surgery.9 They showed complications were higher in the traction and casting group in comparison with the group undergoing surgery.…”

Mid Shaft Clavicular Fracture- A Retrospective, Randomised Study of Comparison of Outcomes Between Tens Nailing and Conservative Treatment

“…The flexile Titanium nail is firmly anchored in the S-shaped clavicle according to the principles described by Ligier et al, (11). The largest series of TENS for midclavicular fractures so far was published by Jubel et al, (6) in 2002.…”

Elastic Stable Intramedullary Nailing for Treatment of Pediatric Tibial Fractures

“…14,15 There are few articles in the literature on the management of diaphyseal fractures of the tibia in children with intramedullary fixation. 11,16,17 O'Brien et al reported 16 fractures of the tibia, fixed internally with intramedullary fixation, which achieved a very good functional outcome. 17 They reported one superficial infection, six coronal and seven sagittal angulations, but no functional compromise.…”
